A flip-chip bonding device and method are disclosed. The bonding device includes: a supply unit (10) for separating a flip-chip (200) from a carrier (100) and providing the flip-chip (200), the supply unit (10) including flipping device (11); a transfer unit (20) for receiving the flip-chip (200) from the flipping device (11); a position adjustment unit (30) for adjusting the positions of flip-chips (200) on the transfer unit (20); a bonding unit (40) for bonding the flip-chips (200) on the transfer unit (20) onto a substrate (400); a transportation unit (50) for transporting the transfer unit (20); and a control unit (60) for controlling the movement of the preceding units. The transfer unit (20) is capable of receiving multiple flip-chips (200) and allows the flip-chips (200) to be bonded simultaneously. This can result in savings in bonding time and an improvement in throughput. Moreover, during the transportation of the transfer unit (20), the positions of the flip-chips (200) thereon can be adjusted by the position adjustment unit (30), thereby ensuring high positional accuracy of the flip-chips (200) in the subsequent bonding step. As a result, a high-accuracy bonding can be achieved.

A holding frame for a plug-type connector is intended to have good heat resistance and a high level of mechanical robustness and, when installed in a metallic plug-type connector housing, enable protective grounding while being convenient to use, in particular during the replacement of individual modules. To this end, a holding frame is provided having a rigid die-cast metal frame and cheek parts made of resilient sheet metal, the cheek parts being distinct from but coupled to the rigid die-cast metal frame to extend along opposing exterior sides of the longitudinal sidewalls of the rigid die-cast metal frame to provide a multi-layer sidewall structure, and each cheek part having a upper portion with at least one detent window which is configured to flex outwardly to an insertion state to receive a connector module and to return to a holding state to lock the connector module in place.

A holding frame for a plug-type connector is intended to have good heat resistance and a high level of mechanical robustness and, when installed in a metallic plug-type connector housing, enable protective grounding while at the same time being convenient to use, in particular during the replacement of individual modules. For this purpose, the holding frame can have base frame and resilient cheek parts, which are formed from different materials. The base frame is used for fixing an accommodated connector module or modules in a plane. The resilient cheek parts can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state permits insertion of at least one connector module into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane, and wherein the accommodated connector module is fixed in the holding state.

A cable connector clocking assembly for clocking and torqueing a cable connector. In one example, the clocking assembly has a socket adapter sub-assembly configured to be mounted in an adapter holder sub-assembly. The socket adapter sub-assembly includes a socket portion and an adapter portion having a generally cylindrical body portion secured to the socket portion with a fastener. The adapter portion also has at least one indicium configured to indicate a clock angle of a cable connector when the cable connector is connected to the socket portion. The clocking assembly also includes an adapter holder sub-assembly comprising a clamp portion and a face portion having indicia representative of different clock angles. The clamp portion has an unclamped configuration, wherein the socket sub-assembly can be rotated to a desired clock angle, and a clamped configuration, wherein the socket sub-assembly is securely retained in the clamp portion at the desired clock angle.

An electronic component mounting device, including: a board conveyance device which conveys and positions a board on which an electronic component is mounted; a mounting device which positions and mounts the electronic component to a mounting position of the board; a loading device which picks up multiple engaged members (clips), and positions and loads the engaged members to a loading position of the board; and a placing device which picks up a cover component that covers the mounted electronic component and that is provided with an engaging portion at a predetermined position, and positions and places the cover component to a position such that the engaging portion corresponds to the engaged member.

Provided are a jig and a press-fitting device that are capable of suppressing buckling during the press-fitting process. The jig has a jig unit in which a plurality of metal plate-shaped bodies for installing a press-fit terminal onto a substrate are combined. The jig unit includes a movable guide member having a guide groove through which a terminal main body can pass; an insertion punch having a punch groove corresponding to the guide groove, and having a pressing section formed therein; and a rear surface plate body. The movable guide member and the rear surface plate body are attached so as to be vertically movable relative to the insertion punch and, while the press-fit section is being press-fitted into the substrate by the insertion punch, the movable guide member and the rear surface plate body move upward relative to the insertion punch after the lower sides thereof abut to the substrate.

A method for assembling and installing a wire bundle assembly group (WBAG) is disclosed. The method includes placing a first grouping of components of a first WBAG on a first assembly panel of a fabrication table. The method also includes assembling the first WBAG from the first grouping of components and attaching the first WBAG to the first assembly panel. The method also includes actuating a pivot of an assembly frame supporting the first assembly panel to rotate the first assembly panel about a longitudinal axis. The method further includes placing a WBAG receiving panel of a transport tool adjacent the first WBAG and the first assembly panel. The method also includes releasing the first WBAG from the first assembly panel and dropping the WBAG onto the WBAG receiving panel. Finally, the method includes attaching the first WBAG to the WBAG receiving panel.
